spirit will be missed by everyone who worked alongside him everyday.”Eric

When it came up on the news that she died this month in 2001, I was like 12, I got all teary eyed, she had that kind of affect on her supporters [like she was family], I also cried because she was so young and because it was my first experience hearing about such a tragic death.

she was the youngest one on that plane to pass, age 22.damn

WELL like all the good that die young, she's in a better place ^^^A^^^
